COMMENT OF THE DAY
THE
Truman Moves In Pacific
THE inference that General MacArthur's departure from Japan has stimulated pressure for an early peace treaty can be drawn readily from President Truman's highly significant announcement, pledging the United States to a tripartite mutual defence pact with Australasia, and fore- shadowing preservation of American bases in the Japanese archipelago. Australia's Immediate response, hailing the Truman statement as the green light on the road to Pacific security, puts it in its true perspective. Whether the final text of the peace treaty can forthwith be agreed among those whose interests are directly involved is not altogether clear. On most of the basic issues considerable headway
has already been made, but in the matter of reparations, the Philippines, for instance, has advanced a heavy claim on Japan and there is admittedly large mora! and physical justification. Nevertheless, there is reason to anticipate that such problema can, given the right approach, be resolved, largely because Korea has aided general
Truman's

recognition that a restored Japan would be more valuable to the Pacific, com- munities than the dubious allocation of reparations that would probably never be met. Likewise, the United States is not disposed to make large investments in Japan merely to see them siphoned off in réparations pay- ments. And if there can be no genuine reconciliation with Japan should there remain a continuing spectre of fear, President
powerful assurances committing America to a pact parallel with the Atlantic alliance are both real and satisfactory. The Russian bugbear rests on a Kremlin decision. An offer to subscribe to the treaty structure remains open. Per- sistent Soviet obstructionism is no reason for delaying a Western settle. ment. Mr John Foster Dulles has set forth a broad basis for such a settle- ment, and nothing has arisen to pre clude the accomplishment, in an

Even according to official Peking reports, the "agrarian reformers" have massacred hundreds in- a nationwide blood purge, and the real number of victims undoubtedly, runts into tens of thousands. Against early Indications, the Red revolution is following the course of so many internal social revolutions, particularly that of the Bolshevists in Rusia.
